Mountain Lanes, 1401 Elm St. in Wausau, was closed Tuesday afternoon and its owners, Kaileah Koehler and Kham Rattanasack, did not return requests for comment. The last posts on the center's Facebook page were made last week, following the Fourth of July and none mention the business closing down. A sign on the door said "Closed until further notice."

Koehler and Rattanasack took over the bowling alley in June 2016, moving in their inflatable business Jump On It from Wausau Center mall. The couple planned to make the bowling alley into more of a family destination, providing more entertainment, especially during the coldest months of winter.

The Mountain Lanes building was still owned by the former operator of the bowling alley, Connie Nowicki. Koehler and Rattanasack told a USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin reporter last year that they planned to lease the building until they could one day buy it.

Mountain Lanes has been an iconic part of Wausau's skyline since the 1960s, when the A-frame building opened with 24 bowling lanes. Over the years, the lanes have hosted countless bowling tournaments, for both adults and children.
